Memo: Antitrust: Commission confirms supplementary Statement of Objections sent to Intel

The European Commission confirmed that it has sent a supplementary Statement of Objections (SSO) to Intel on 17th July. The SSO reinforced the Commission’s preliminary view outlined in a Statement of Objections of 26 July 2007 that Intel has infringed EC Treaty rules on abuse of a dominant position (Article 82) with the aim of excluding its main rival, AMD, from the x86 Central Processing Units (CPU) market.
